Tic InfamY of BrIberY.

The people Of Virginia need to be on
their guard at the coming election. The
Bourbon Democratic leaders will resort to
every device to defeat the will OF the ma.
iority. They are boasting that they shave
the election machinery and intend to use It,"
The papers in the black belt are publish
ing significant hints as to what should be
done with the negroes. Much space is de-
voted to telling Of Republican quarrels that
will induce apathy and a light vote In strong
Republican sections. This is to account for
the changing Of votes that is proposed and
that can be accomplished under the In.
famous Mccormick election law unless the
greatest watchfulness is displayed.
But the strongest reliance the Bourbon
leaders have is in the fact that they propose
to buy every purchaseable vote 10 the state,
and have the money to do 1t with. They
have collected large corruption fund and
will not hesitate to use IT,
Honest and honorable citizens do not re-
sort to or countenance such measures, but
reckless Bourbon Democratic politicians
know no wrong but failure, aud no right
Every man who believes In the institutions
OF our country-who desires to see them
perpetuated--who wants honest elections
should use every method possible to foil
every attempt at bribery. Every cast
should be carefully noted. The names, tht
day, the place, and every particular taken
down, SO that the bribers may be punished
1t may be that the men guilty Of the In
famous crime of bribery or attempted brib
cry cannot be judicially convicted. But II
the honest people of Virginia who desire
honest elections will secure the best evi
dence possible, the guilty men will be con
vic,ed in the court or public opinion which
will be assembled In 1883.
The American people are being reused to
the infamy of the ways OF the Bourbon
Democracy in carrying elections. Every
new crime against the freedom aud purity
OF the ballot box that is made public only
hastens the day when the judgment of the
people will be given, and 1t will be as harst
ss that which says, "Depart, ye cursed"
Let no man high or low in position, socia
or official, escape If he commits or attempts
the crime Of bribery. Secure the evidence
and the righteous indignation OF an aroused
people will render the verdict OF 'infamy'
against the cuIprit.

Secretary Fairohild's False Reports.

Senator Morgan, who is Democrat OF
Democrats, made the direct charge at
Talladega, Ala, in public speech, that
Secretary Farchild was sendng'out false
reports concerning the financial condition
Of the country to hoodwink the people, when
he asserted that there was only $9j 900 900
surplus in the treasury.
Senator Morgan cannot be accused OF
making this charge for partisan effect, be,
cause he-llke Secretary Fairchild and
President Cleveland who is supposed to bc
responsible for bis Secretary'S action-is q
u, mOcTat aud free trader. The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN has been for weeks past as.
setting tnat there was largely more surplus
cash IN tho treasury that the Secretary re.
ported, and, as usual with 1t, proved what
II said Stlll II is glad to have Senator Nor
gan supporting a good Republican paper ia
It's statements.
THERE'S not a shadow Of doubt but what
Senator Morgan is correct. The treasury
rcTorts are not correct, and II Is no doubt
tue that an effort is being made by the
ad dministration "to hoodwlnk the people,"
as Senator Morgan says,
One remarkable fact about this speech Is
Il Lat it was made last Friday, the 2Sth In
stant; that there Is telegraph Office IN Tai
ladega, but that not word as to this
United States senator's speech has been
given to the public by telegraph. Perhaps
Mr., Jay Gould's operators did not like the
tenor 1T.

"a Conspiracy Against tho Public.'

"a Conspiracy Against tho Public"
In the "Wealth of Nations" published in
17TG, Adam Smith said: "People Of the same
trade seldom meet together but the con-
versation ends in conspiracy against the
public, or In some contrivance to raise
prices.n
If the great writer on political economy
could return to earth now and sec the work
ing men engaged in the various trades, or
ganized on the one side, and the capitalist
whose money is needed and used to trans
act the business of the world, forming
"trusts" and POOLS" he might repeat his
words with emphasis.
The railroad pools have been In opera
tlon for years, until Congress had to inter
vene to protect the people. Now "trusts''
are being organized to control almost every
thing.
Among the first OF these combinations
was that gigantic monopoly, the STANDARD
Oil Trust, whose example was early fol
lowed BY the American Cotton Seed or
Trust and the American Cattle Trust
Since the formation Of these there hav,
been formed Rubber Trust, HighwInei
Trust, Salt Trust, Llnseed Oil Trust, t
Sugar Trust, and Lead Trust. In alii
tion to these, combinations have beer
formed by envelope and board manu-
facturers. The general objects of all thes,
combinations are to control production ant
toregulate prices.
1t may not be long before the govern
ment will have to interfere ag,in to pro
tect the people from "trusts" as 1t has hat
| to doin the case of "pools."
National Republican., 1887-11-01

Or course the sugar reGners when they
made "a trust" declared that 1t was not in
tended to put up prices. But that is just
what It has done. The "trust" has only
been in existence few weeks and granu-
lated sugar is half cent per pound higher,
while soft sugars have advanced one.fourth
All the sugar rehners Of New York, Brook
lyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
New Orleans have Joined the trust except
Harrison, Havemeyer ~ Co., and L. c..
Knight & Co., both of Philadelphia. The
DE Castro & Donner sugar refinery has
closed down in accordance with the plans
Of the combination, following the North
River and OXnarde companies, which had
already practically suspended operations.
Moller, Slerck ,S Co., Dick ~ Mayer, and
the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company
tlosed last week, and others will do the
lame as may be required by the conditions
OF the trust.

THE ANARCHISTS APPEAL.
The Decision in the Case Likely to be
Made To- Morrow.

mnde TO- mOrroW.
The United states Supreme Court room
was crowded again yesterday 10 antlcipi
ton Of decision upon the motion for
wjt OF error in the case OF the Chicago
anarchists. 1t was thought that Mr.. jus
tice Miller might perhaps announce the de.
cision aud read the opinion, and when his
turn came the court room was absolutely stiil
while every person present listened eagerly
for his first words. The Judgment whch
he announced had, however, no relation to
the case which WAS iu every ones mind,an1
II was not until the reading OF opinions had
been concluded that any reference to that
case was made. The Chief Justice then
seid that the court hoped to be ready to
al lDoupCe its decision upon the motion OF
Spies and others for writ OF error by
Wednesday of this week and certainly by
Thursday.
The failure Of the court to render dec
sion and the announcement by the Chief
Justice when II would be made Is thought
TO indicate nothing more than that the
courts judgment will be set forth In au
elaborate manner, and that the Justice tn
whom the preparation Of the opinion has
been assigned Ia not yet ready with IL. The
argument In the cases was not concluded
until Friday afternoons, the justices could
not meet for consultation until the next
day, and, even were they in full agreement
as to all the questions raised, there would
hardly be time between Saturday afternoon
and Monday morning ior the preparation
Of careful opinion and Its discussion in
conference. II is the general, and, In fact,
almost universal, belief Of lawyers who
practice at the Supreme Court bar that the
petition for writ OF error will be denied,
hut this belief is based only upon their own
views OF constitutional law and the !mprcs
sion made upon their minds by the argu'
ments. TIE Justices Of the court will not,
Of course allow any intimation to escape
them MS to their views until the decision has
been formally announced from the bench.

The correspondent of the New York Ii'i-
J'ne has devoted some time and labor to
securing list of the Tennesseeans who are
holding office under Mr.. Commissioner At
kins, Of the Indian bureau.
The list is q long one and comes with
strong force as denial OF what the conmis-

to reward and no enemies to punish, and
would give special attention to retention OF
such men as were able and efficient.
The Teunesseeans, commencing With the
commissioner himself, include the assistant
commissioner, son OF Commissioner At
kins, who Is a 81 600 clerk; Gen. George

ADMIRAL poRTERs REPORT.
Congress Blamed for tho Decline OF
the Country's Merchant Shipping.

Congress Blamed Tor tho Decltne OF
the Country's Merchant Shipping.
The annual report Of Admiral Porter was
submitted yesterday. The defects in the
organization and vessels Of the navy are
made the subjects Of special recommends
tlons, and special training Of the highest
order Is advocated for the officers of the
engineer corps. Several changes are sug.
gested by which greater harmony can be
secured In the working OF naval affairs.
The matter Of coast defenses is taken up,
and the lamentable weakness Of the present
lines shown up very strongly. The re-
quirements OF the principal ports OF the
country were set forth plainly, aud the
necessity for heavy Iron clad vessels for the
defense Of those ports was emphatically
stated. The admiral thinks that q special
law should be enacted requiring the enrol.
ment Of every mariner in the United States
in a naval reserve such as is now In Great
Britain; this organization would he a great
power In time OF war. He blames Con-
gress for the decline Of the merchant ship
ping Of the country, and urges government
aid for American lines. Numerous recon-
mendations are made as to promotions IN
the navy, and the fact Is noted that several
officers bave sought In private employment
the advancement they failed TO receive In

ONE Of the remarkable condolences of
the times is the fact that some of the grand
lodges of Masons, the knights of Labor,
and the Catholic Church have all issued
orders against liquor sellers, almost at the
same time. These organizations, each
powerful in its own way, and each claiming
10 work for the good Of mankind, have
arrived at the same conclusion as to one
thing, and that is, that the selling of intoxl-
cants is an evil,
